borderhopper: End Birthright CItizenship:NO more Anchor Babies or Birth Tourism

End Birthright Citizenship

Overview- the US is not a candy store to be robbed by foreign nationals who care little for freedom and only for greed. Anchor Babies go crazy if you call them anchor babies because they feel insecure about the criminal method used to obtain citizenship.

Birthright Citizenship is the practice of offering automatic citizenship to children born in the United States. Under current federal law, all children born in the U.S. receive automatic citizenship, but this practice had created a magnet for foreign nationals who want their children to have citizenship in the United States.
Traditionally, nations that offer Birthright Citizenship do so to increase its own population. Most developed nations have ended the practice of Birthright Citizenship or have never offered it in the first place. The United States is the most populated nation to still offer Birthright CitizenshipBirthright Citizenship is the practice of offering automatic citizenship to children born in the United States.

A bill to repeal Birthright Citizenship has been offered in the House of Representatives by former Georgia Congressman Nathan Deal. After Rep. Deal's resignation to run for governor, the bill's sponsorship was taken over by California Congressman Gary Miller.
The Immigration and Nationality Act defines Birthright Citizenship in the United States, but it's also a clause in the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. However, the Supreme Court has never interpreted the Birthright Citizenship clause as it applies to illegal aliens - only legal immigrants.Show More

The United States government currently recognizes any person born on American soil as a “natural born” citizen and ignores the Constitutional requirement that one must also be “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States in order to automatically gain citizenship. The U.S. is one of only two industrialized nations (Canada) to still grant automatic citizenship to newborns.
Despite several media reports, the U.S. Supreme Court has never ruled on whether or not children born to illegal-alien parents, or to parents visiting the United States with temporary visas, are entitled to birthright citizenship.
Birthright citizenship for illegal aliens not only rewards illegal immigration and adds to the population growth, it also acts as an “anchor” for illegal-alien family members to remain in the United States and eventually legalize their status.
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has introduced the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011 that would:

Eliminate the practice of Birthright Citizenship by requiring at least one parent of children born in the United States to be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident.
